New build homes for sale in Tiptree

Two good cross-country routes cross in Tiptree: the B1022 between Maldon and Colchester, and the B1023 that travels from the coast to the A12 at Kelvedon.

Kelvedon is the closest train station for Tiptree, with regular services that get you to London Liverpool Street in just under an hour.

The town has plenty of independent shops and businesses along its high street, including the added advantage of a range of supermarkets for easy weekly shopping.

For health and well-being, there’s a local leisure centre, a medical centre, a popular garden centre, several pubs, and a range of takeaways and cafes. The famous Tiptree Jam tea room and museum is also well worth an afternoon out for all the family. Children can also benefit from the educational opportunities within the area, including four primary schools and a secondary school.

A lovely and varied part of Essex, a new-build home here will be within easy reach of coastline favourites Southend-on-Sea and Clacton-on-Sea. While closer to home, West Mersea has a family-friendly sandy beach, and the Blackwater Estuary is home to a national nature reserve. As well as the town’s green spaces, close by you have Messing Park and the Tiptree Woods Walk. Also, the Abberton Reservoir is a short drive to the east and is an excellent local place for walking the dog.

For keen golfers, you have Rivenhall Oaks Golf Centre to the west, plus there are three local fishing lakes for enthusiastic anglers. And for beautiful coastal views, the Blackwater Estuary National Nature Reserve is a wildlife haven covering 21 square miles.
